rear drive is like a raw oyster. Not everyone can adapt to its fatness and sweetness and certain ability after eating; while the front drive is more like a plate of cucumbers, refreshing and no one can avoid it, but it will inevitably be a little dull. Tasteless, which requires chefs to develop more cooking techniques. Just like we require a front-wheel drive vehicle to be fun to drive, it must be a "steel cannon", suspension adjustment and power output must be available, and the price is not too expensive.
There are not many front-drive "steel cannons" currently on the market (barely regarded as "steel cannons"). The lower threshold and stronger overall performance are the Volkswagen Golf GTI, but compared with BMW's upcoming 128ti, Obviously the latter is more suitable to be referred to as the "source of happiness."
BMW officially announced that it will launch an entry-level performance model, which is the 128ti we just mentioned. This car will be officially released in November this year and is currently at Nurburg Green performed the final adjustments and tests. The so-called "ti" is the abbreviation of "Turismo Internazionale" in Italian, and has some meanings of "sports wagon". The two most beautiful "ti" in BMW history are from 1960-1970s The 1800 TI and 2002 TI, especially the 2002 TI, are more legendary. It helped BMW win the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race for the first time. The last "ti" was the 1997 BMW 325ti, so BMW will The 128ti launched is the official restart of this name after more than 20 years.
actually has nothing to say about the appearance, you can think of it as the 1 series with the performance kit, but it is different from the exaggerated Civic Type R The appearance of the BMW 128ti is relatively low-key, only adding some red embellishments to distinguish it from ordinary models. Of course, the 19-inch wheels, Michelin performance tires, M brakes and lower suspension can show the car’s performance. Unambiguous. The interior design of
is also low-key, with sporty red stitching all over the car, and the "ti" logo on the armrest box is very eye-catching.
If you use the way of substituting life to describe the performance of the 128ti, it is "You can pick up your baby to buy food, you can run on the track." It is difficult to introduce such a front-wheel drive steel gun to make people not think of BMW. It is for the golf GTI. 128ti is equipped with a B48 2.0T turbocharged engine, although it is limited by the FF architecture The power parameters can only be set at 269 horsepower, but it is also 49 horsepower higher than the Golf GTI. What's more, the 128ti matching Aisin 8AT gearbox has been re-optimized, and the ups and downs are faster, and it can exert good power. The output can also achieve better fuel economy in daily driving. Compared with the ordinary 1 series, the 128ti M sports suspension reduces the height of the car by 10mm, while allowing a Torsen limited slip differential with a slip ratio of 31-26% The vehicle, stronger anti-roll bars, and more sporty steering settings all bring it more precise and controllable body dynamics in corners. All in all, 128ti is the "fastest front-wheel drive" under the UKL platform.
and finally Look at the price, the price of the BMW 128ti is clear It is full of "maliciousness" towards Golf GTI. The price of £32,995 in the European market can be described as "affordable". You must know that the price of £34,960 in Europe for Golf GTI is nearly 2,000 pounds higher than it. . Z1z
is written at the end: Although it is still unknown whether 128ti will be sold in China in the future, we might as well imagine how big a sensation it will bring to the "steel gun" market once it enters the country. What's more, 80 Jun always feels that BMW will play a lot of big names in 2021, and we will wait and see.
